Remember when you were a kid and someone would ask you what you wanted to be when you grew up? You’d exclaim an astronaut or president. An inventor or a millionaire.
还记不记得你小时候别人问你长大之后的梦想的问题？你说的是宇航员或者总统，发明家或者百万富翁。
But then somewhere along the way, someone told you that your goals were unachievable. So your goals became smaller, achievable.
但某个时候，有人对你说你的梦想太遥不可及了。所以你的梦想变小了，可以做到了。
But, have your goals become just tasks in disguise?
但是，你的梦想虚伪了吗？
Here are 5 signs that your goals are just tasks in disguise:
这里列举了5种虚伪的梦想的标志：
1.Your goal is small. If you start with easy goals, you’ll finish small. Make a big goal. Running a marathon is a goal. Running 3 miles, may be the first task in reaching your goal, but running 3 miles is not your final goal.
你的目标很小。如果你着手做的是一个很容易就做到的目标，你做大的也很小。制定一个大目标。跑马拉松是一个目标。跑三公里是你实现梦想要先做的事，但是跑三公里绝不是你的最终目标。
2.You tell people your tasks, not your goals. The time you told someone you wanted to be president, they laughed at you. So the next time you said you wanted to go to Law School. As people scoffed at your goal, you broke it down to smaller tasks on the way to your goal, to avoid the scoffers.
告诉别人的是你的任务，不是你的目标。这时候你对别人说你想当总统，别人只会嘲笑你。所以下次你只说你想去法学院。当别人在嘲笑你梦想的时候，你可以将其分成梦想路上的小任务，以此来避免别人对你的嘲笑。
3.You meet your goals most of the time. If you always achieve your goals, you may be telling yourself that you are a powerhouse and go-getter. But maybe, you aren’t reaching far enough, and you’re actually celebrating tasks completed.
大部分时间你都能做到你的目标。如果你总是能实现你的目标，也许你还告诉自己你有能力，并且能做到更好。但是也许，你只是还没有走得更远，你只是在庆祝你已经做到的任务。
4.You don’t dream anymore. That voice in your head that once told you to reach for the stars, now tells you to keep your feet on the ground. Realism is good. But no one becomes great without reaching far, and falling often.
你不再做梦。曾经你脑海里的声音告诉你要去摘到天上的星星，现在是要你脚踏实地。现实点好。但没有人能不走远，不失败就能变好。
5.You fear failure. Goal getters don’t fear failure. They thrive on it. Every failure is a step closer to achievement. If you fear failure, you’ll never get your goals.
你害怕失败。实现梦想的人不害怕失败。他们努力奋进。每一次的失败都能让他们更接近成功。如果你害怕失败，你绝不会取得成功。
